Welcome to Ballans Dental and Healthcare, your trusted provider of exceptional geriatric dentistry services. We understand that as we age, our dental needs change, and our dedicated team of professionals is here to provide specialized care tailored to the unique requirements of our senior patients.
At Ballans Dental and Healthcare, we offer a comprehensive range of geriatric dentistry services designed to promote optimal oral health and enhance the quality of life for our senior patients. Our experienced and compassionate dental team is committed to delivering personalized care that addresses the specific concerns and challenges faced by older adults.
Our geriatric dentistry services include:
Comprehensive Dental Examinations: We begin by conducting thorough dental examinations to assess the overall oral health of our geriatric patients. Our skilled dentists will carefully examine the teeth, gums, and oral tissues, checking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or oral health issues. We take into consideration any medical conditions or medications that may impact dental health.
Dental Cleanings and Preventive Care: Regular dental cleanings are vital for maintaining oral health at any age. Our dental hygienists will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. We also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques and offer preventive treatments such as fluoride application to strengthen tooth enamel and minimize the risk of cavities.
Denture Care and Maintenance: For seniors who wear dentures, we offer specialized denture care and maintenance services. Our team will ensure proper fit and function of the dentures, making any necessary adjustments or repairs. We also provide education on denture hygiene and offer solutions to enhance comfort and stability, such as implant-supported dentures.
Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease is a common concern among older adults. Our skilled periodontists are experienced in diagnosing and treating gum disease at all stages. We offer non-surgical and surgical interventions to manage gum disease, including scaling and root planing, gum grafting, and laser therapy. Our goal is to restore gum health and prevent further deterioration.
Tooth Replacement Options: For seniors with missing teeth, we provide a range of tooth replacement options to restore function and aesthetics. These options include dental implants, bridges, and removable dentures. Our dentists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most suitable solution based on each patient’s oral health and individual needs.
Oral Health Education: We believe in empowering our geriatric patients to take an active role in their oral health. Our team provides education on age-specific dental concerns, including dry mouth, medication-related oral health issues, and oral cancer screenings. We offer guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene practices at home and provide strategies to address any challenges that may arise.
